Armored belt and redoubt. Ram bow, round stern. Belt encircling the water-line to the height of the main-deck beams, and covering the ram. Square central redoubt, having an overhang of about three feet, the corners being cut off to permit angular ports for fore-and-aft and beam fire. The sides above the main-deck beams are given a rank tumble home to open the fore-and-aft fire of the redoubt. On top of the redoubt a heavy rifle is mounted on each side in barbette, giving a firing-angle of 180°. Designed by Reed. This ship resembles very closely in type the French Redoubtable. KONG-GO. HI-YEI. Armored-belt, broadside corvettes. The belt comes to the height of the upper-deck beams, but ends short of the bow and stern in an armored bulkhead. There is no fore-and-aft fire from the main battery. Two heavy bow-guns are carried under the forecastle in recessed ports, giving bow and beam fire. One stern-gun working in two recessed ports gives stern and beam fire. Single screw, full sail-power. Long yacht bow and round stern. KO-TETS-EEN (LATE STONEWALL). Armored belt and redoubt, long ram bow, round stern, single screw, and half sail-power. This vessel is almost the exact counterpart of the Prinz Adalbert (German). Both ships were built at Bordeaux. RIO-JIO-KAN.
